Very useful information especially for those who are unfamiliar with dialing rules in Russia. If you want to make an international call from the Russian Federation the instructions are fairly simple, yet it's worth learning about some key differences. For example, Russian land lines do not use tone dialing. Makes it somewhat different from what you might be used to in the US, Canada, and many other countries. The pulse dialing especially comes into play when considering that the phone cards require tone dialing. Do not worry, you can still use our phone cards in Russia, simply read the easy instructions.
